The rights dominated the lineup in the morning. I guess the higher tide favored the rivermouth zone.

Crispy clean from the relatively strong offshores. It was a beautiful day of waves.

Good stalling posture from this rider. Functional (open) and stylish (chest puffed out). Chris Ward would approve.

Oof! This is why it's important to engage your inside rail during your takeoff when it is hollow and critical.

He cut his upward drive short. Not sure why he decided to cut his ascent as short as he did. He wanted to play chicken with the guillotine lip!

He either had an awkward drop back down or the lip hit his board. So he came out bodysurfing! Might as well see it through even if it's prone.

The Four Point of Contact Pigdog? Cursed or functional? Probably depends on circumstances. At least it enabled him to stay low and compact to navigate the tight tube.

A tale of two groms! Where you look is where you go. Check out where they are both looking. That is part of what spelled the difference in their outcomes on this party wave.

Hopefully some leftovers like this tomorrow! The size is supposed to fade again. Let's keep our fingers crossed as it looks like this could be the last bit of swell until August!

PANGA DROPS

Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The surf was tiny and the swell direction was weird, so not even French Fries was working. John and Koji made the right call to pull out the hand-lines.

Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were small today, but a few people got a very clean window. The vicious off-shores are supposed to start tomorrow, so they might’ve got the last of the good stuff for a bit.

Todays waves weren’t quite as perfect as yesterdays, if you caught Mr. Chris’s report (waves were on fire and some sick pics – nice one Chris!!) Today was a little more patchy and cloudy and although the waves (at least when..
